- People in olden days had no food like we have now. For their breakfast they had oatenmeal bread and buttermilk. For dinner, potatoes, milk, salt, and sometimes red herrings, and for supper Indian meal porridge. This was the principal food the people of that day had. When the men would be working, often they lit a fire on the headland and roasted the stalks of the potatoes and ate them. From this kind of food they usually got a pain, and as there were no doctors here at that time many of the poor people died.
